Mini Menus

One of our favorite places is hands down, Honda-ya in Old Town Tustin. It's a quaint little Japanese restaurant (always with a line) that serves not just sushi but yakitori and other traditional Japanese dining options. My go-to has always been a couple of their yakitori (specificially the veggies wrapped in bacon) and then dinner would always be either the sesame fried chicken or the pork tonkatsu (also breaded and fried). When we were super hungry, we'd go with a 2-item dinner combo: comes with miso soup, a salad, bowl of rice, side potato salad and two choices (of which mine would always be vegetable tempura with sesame fried chicken or the pork tonkatsu.. But usually the sesame fried chicken).

My appetite having decreased a whole lot since our last visit to Honda-ya (i'll have to see if I posted our Honda-ya feast fest earlier on), and being diabetic for the time being, Corina and I finally hopped on over (now only a 3-minute drive from my new digs!) for some bacon-wrapped stuff on sticks - YUM!





From left to right: Bacon wrapped asparagus, bacon wrapped cherry tomatoes, bacon wrapped zucchini, and chicken leg meat. I had already demolished the bacon wrapped sausages at this point. But how pretty and delicious does that look?

I don't know why the images always look smaller and grainier when I post directly from my phone even though when I post from my computer (still not hooked up) with photos from my phone, it looks fine.

So maybe our taste buds have changed, or maybe the chef changed, but dinner didn't knock our socks off (if we had been wearing socks) like it used to. Will we return? Of course!!!
